Good to Know

Platform restrictions outside any integration tool's control

Porter is intracity only

Porter operates within Indian cities for hyperlocal and same-day delivery. Intercity and pan-India shipments require Delhivery, ShipRocket, or another logistics provider.

Nventory does not dispatch Porter delivery partners

Delivery partner assignment and dispatch are handled by Porter's platform. Nventory syncs order data and pushes tracking back to Shopify.

COD settlement is managed by Porter

Porter collects COD from customers and settles with merchants on their payout schedule. Nventory syncs COD status but does not manage settlements.

Things to Consider

Platform-specific details and how they affect this integration.

Challenge

Porter excels at same-city delivery but does not handle intercity shipments. Stores selling across India need a hybrid logistics strategy with Porter for local delivery and a national carrier for the rest.

Nventory's Approach

Nventory supports both Porter for intracity delivery and carriers like Delhivery or ShipRocket for pan-India shipping. Orders can be routed based on delivery address — same-city orders to Porter, intercity orders to your national carrier.
